Vans is teaming up with innovative textile and upholstery design Knoll for an interesting Mountain Edition Hi pack that will be available next year – 2010 by March or April.

The new Vans Mountain Edition Hi comes in a very nice shimmering waxy material that feels like a vinyl.  It comes in a very nice purple color.  The sneaker is monotone. It has a brown leather on the side panel where the “Vans” word is spelled out with its logo. It also has a white midsole and a black lining the Upper and midsole of the  shoe serving as an accent.  The sneaker comes with black shoe laces that make it look good.

These anticipated sneakers will come out this October. We are expecting that these new babies will sell like hotcakes! 

They are presented with monotone in color black, red, and blue suede leather upper. They have a very clean and nicely designed stitches design in their midsole. It has a white square patch in the tongue and has the logo name of “Vans.”

The shoe laces are with the same color of the upper. So, if you have red, your shoe laces are also red. At the bottom of the shoe laces, there is a small rectangular tag of HUF.

Vans once again utilized the Mountain Mid platform for another collaboration with Jahan Loh.  Featuring a black and purple colorway, a Vans skull image on the tongue, and snakeskin straps located in the midfoot area, which I think is redundant with the leather laces in place.  I also thought the laces should have been in another contrasting color instead of the black laces they used here.  Thankfully, the white stitching following the shoes outline provided the much-needed ontrast to this collection.

There is no definite timetable for its release but expect it to be soon.

Vans Chukka Boot LX

The sneaker is a chukka boot 64 LX with a checkerboard pattern of white and red. It carries Robert Williams’s comic panels, which forms a beautiful artistic creation.

I personally love the design because it projects an artistic individual. The sneaker’s design itself carries its own personality, which makes it a head turner!

In all things sneakers, sometimes the simplest designs get more attention. I have seen enough in the last few days and I could say that the ones I would go for would be those designs that are straightforward, understated and un-complicated. Oh, I do appreciate a little bit of technology for more comfort and ease.

As Vans releases its Holiday 2009 collection, I cannot help but feel nostalgic when I saw the lineup.  The navy and white colorway just screams classic and both the Chukka Boot 69 and the Era 59 are looking irresistibly solid. Both have suede uppers, with vulcanized construction and a classic waffle grip.

It retails from $70.

London label Silas and Maria returns yet again to create another SK8-Hi for VANS. The new SK8-Hi Labyrinth features a 3D design that reads SILAS in repetition. Made of canvass and suede.

This SK8-Hi LX from Vans seems to be perfect for the fall/winter season due to the materials that were used. Aside from leather, Vans also also made use of wool material on the side panels, collar area and tongue. The shoe simply has two colors only: black upper with white stitching pattern, white midsole with black piping and black and white inner lining.
